    No job is as important as to jeopardize the safety of you or those that you work with.

    Hi Josip,

    I was looking at the NOD32 US website. This looks like a good program. How long have you been using this?

    Since you son is an IT person, he may know something we do not.

    We have been using this program for about 4-5 years. There is no special knowledge about
    The main reason is scaning in real time, not use to much system resources and high speed.
    Til today no problem regarding viruses, spyware, adware..I'm very satisfied.

    Re: Anti virus software

    Hi Josip,

    Thanks for the feedback. I have used Norton but became unhappy with some of the problems I have experienced with it.

    Currently, I'm using Zone Alarm and it seems to be doing a good job, but it is kind of slow and uses what seems to be too many resources.

    This is the reason I asked everyone what they are using. I'm trying to find the different programs that people are using and have good luck with.

    Thanks very much to everyone who has replied so far.

    Hi I use AVG and now they have bought Edwido which got to rid my computer of a mallicious adware and am very happy with them when you buy Edwido I think you get the full AVG version which is included.
